Patiala

Hi folks

I am here working in chandigarh Patiiala and learning new things.
Patiala unlike the Patiala peg is not as big and as glorious as it sounds
from the name of the pompous maharaja.
City is small, sleepy and lacks the momentum and ferocity like that of its counterparts Chandigarh and Ludhiana.
But, in a quaint little way this is a very likeable city, full of green trees and
the pride of the place goes to the Baradari- I dunt know what people mean by it
but i think it is the large park in the heart of the city.
The city is clean and has little pollution, courtesy the population is white collared working class.
The State Bank of Patiala is the heart and soul of the city as it is perhaps the largest employer as well as the major revenue churner.
Lot of people from here are abroad also, so economy is typically Punjabi.
Life here is slow, not much social or cultural happening except the odd trip of Punjab CM, who was the erstwhile king of Patiala.
Will give details of the city later.
I have met some interesting people here Sohrab sandhu, Aman Boha, Lucky Brar and China.
All unique in their own ways. Lol.
See ya

The policies of the government of india with regard to the solution of the Kashmir problem has become a one-dimensional process with talks taking place between just the Kashmiris and the Government of India.
The kind of importance the Hurriyat conference is being accorded at the expense of the people of Jammu, Ladakh as well as the people living in Pak occupied Kashmir has made the whole process a total sham.

The peope of the areas which have been left out of this process or denied representation feel as is they are being punished for supporting the cause of India, holding the Indian flag high and then being left dry. Nothing has helped their cause and they are being neglected since 1947 for no fault of theirs.

The need of the hour is to change these policies if the solution to this probles has to be found.

back to jammu

Hi folks

i am back in jammu after a month in Delhi.
I was shocked as well as surprised to read the Times of India survey that Jammu and Kashmir are the topmost state (2nd) in corruption after Bihar.
With the kind of materialism seeping in our society it is but natural that people here are engaged in corruption in such mostrous proportions.

God save the ordinary man from the politician, the bureaucrat, police and the mafia.
